Name Current Setting Required Description
---- --------------- -------- -----------
CHOST no The local client address
CPORT no The local client port
ConnectTimeout 10 yes Maximum number of seconds to establish a TCP connection
NTLM::SendLM true yes Always send the LANMAN response (except when NTLMv2_session is specified)
NTLM::SendNTLM true yes Activate the 'Negotiate NTLM key' flag, indicating the use of NTLM responses
NTLM::SendSPN true yes Send an avp of type SPN in the ntlmv2 client blob, this allows authentication on Windows 7+/Server 2008 R2+ when SPN is required
NTLM::UseLMKey false yes Activate the 'Negotiate Lan Manager Key' flag, using the LM key when the LM response is sent
NTLM::UseNTLM2_session true yes Activate the 'Negotiate NTLM2 key' flag, forcing the use of a NTLMv2_session

Proxies no A proxy chain of format type:host:port[,type:host:port][...]
SMB::AlwaysEncrypt true yes Enforces encryption even if the server does not require it (SMB3.x only). Note that when it is set to false, the SMB client will still encrypt the communication if the server requires it
SMB::ChunkSize 500 yes The chunk size for SMB segments, bigger values will increase speed but break NT 4.0 and SMB signing
SMB::Native_LM Windows 2000 5.0 yes The Native LM to send during authentication
SMB::Native_OS Windows 2000 2195 yes The Native OS to send during authentication

SSLVerifyMode PEER no SSL verification method (Accepted: CLIENT_ONCE, FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT, NONE, PEER)
SSLVersion Auto yes Specify the version of SSL/TLS to be used (Auto, TLS and SSL23 are auto-negotiate) (Accepted: Auto, TLS, SSL23, SSL3, TLS1, TLS1.1, TLS1.2)
VERBOSE false no Enable detailed status messages
WORKSPACE no Specify the workspace for this module
